Chapter 3011
It took a lot of effort, but Jessica finally moved all her belongings into the house that Larry hadfound for her.
"What do you think? This house isn't too shabby, is it?"
Larry asked as he glanced around.
"Oh, yes.It's pretty good.Thank you so much, Larry"
Jessica hurriedly replied.
Wait a minute, when has she become this polite? Larry looked at Jessica quizzically, a feeling ofunease slowly coming over him. He was worried that she might still be upset, especially with howthings had ended between her and Caspian.
Because even though she never said it, Larry knew she hadn't gotten over him completely.
After all, it was hard to forget someone who had given you so much to remember, and Larry knewthat better than anyone else.He had also experienced the pain of losing a loved one when hethought Joan had died in an accident, so he knew the agony Jessica must be in now.
What a pity it was that their relationship had to end.
It was such a loving and beautiful one, yet Caspian just had to ruin it.
What the hell is that fool thinking about? Ditching Jessica for another woman who doesn't even likehim? Larry sighed, still annoyed with how Caspian had treated Jessica.
"It's okay, Larry.Marriage is destined just like life and death.Perhaps, Caspian and I are just notmeant to be; Jessica said self-deprecatingly.Of course, she wanted nothing more than to haveCaspian show up and take her back.But deep down, she knew that would be highly unlikely.
Rather than fantasizing about the impossible, Jessica knew it was time for her to sober up and dowhat was best for herself.So what if my love is gone? I still have Larry and my career.
And with a flourishing career like hers, there was no need for her to bother herself with the affairs ofthe heart.
"Jessica, you're my sister. No matter what happens in the future, you can count on me to alwayshave your back!"
Jessica smiled, greatly comforted by his words.
"Hey, Joan, did you hear that? Larry doesn't want you anymore. He said he's sticking with me!"
She joked as she wrapped her arm around his shoulder.
Joan laughed and shook her head.
What a rascal, always teasing me! If this had been in the past, Joan would have blown her top.
But after everything they had been through, she couldn't wait for Larry and Jessica to be even closerthan before.
Jessica was an only child, and since she lost her parents, Joan could only imagine how lonely shemust have felt.
Yet, she had overcome all odds to come to where she was today.
She initially thought Caspian would be the one to give Jessica the love and happiness she deserved,but alas, he turned out to be just another despicable scum.
What made matters worse was that he even wanted to keep the unborn child from his one-nightstand.
Joan got infuriated just thinking about it.
Like Larry, she was seething at Caspian for being so harsh toward Jessica.
They had been together for so long; yet, all of that meant nothing to him when he ended it.
He dumped a woman who truly loved him, only to dote on another who just wanted to toy with hisfeelings.
Caspian, you're such a fool! “Joan, what are you thinking about?”
Jessica asked with a nudge.
"It's that idiot! Whenever I think about him, I feel myself burning with rage!”
Upon hearing that, Jessica merely let out a faint smile.
Joan immediately covered her mouth, embarrassed at her outburst.
Afraid that Jessica might feel sad from being reminded of Caspian again, Joan quickly changed thesubject.
"So, Jessica, what do you think about this house? Do you like it?"
"It's pretty good! The fact that Larry found this house for me makes me like it even more Please visitwhen you're free in the future, and ask Nancy along too!"
Before Joan could respond, Nancy surprised everyone by barging in.
"You don't even have to ask.'m already here!”
Speak of the devil! Jessica was so excited that she hurriedly ran up to welcome her.
"You're just everywhere, aren't you? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
